Apple Remote Desktop is a tool that just about every Mac admin uses at some point. The client is built into OS X and it’s usually straightforward to turn on. It also includes a command line tool called kickstart which can be used to configure the Apple Remote Desktop client. The kickstart tool is useful because you can use it to script your configuration. That said, if you have a complex ARD configuration, getting the kickstart options correct can be tricky.

One way to help with this is to have Apple Remote Desktop Admin do the kickstart configuration work for you. See below the jump for the details.
